Incident report

Buxton Mountain Rescue Team called to support Edale Rescue Team, most of whose members were engaged at an annual social event.

East Midlands Ambulance Service had requested assistance following the report of a collapsed male casualty.  Edale team soon had a doctor on scene as part of the East Midlands Immediate Care Scheme and other available members quickly followed.   Despite everyone’s efforts and full advanced life support techniques, attempts at resuscitation were unsuccessful.

Most Buxton members were stood down whilst still on route to the incident. It was a sombre conclusion to the evening and both rescue teams send their most sincere condolences to the casualty’s family.
